We see the undergraduate girl close her eye lid to display a message that said “LOVE YOU.” The call of the adventure is when we see two Federal Agents that came to enlist the help of Dr. Jones to acquire the Ark and is informed that the Nazis’ have found Tanis, which is the last known location of the Ark. Dr. Jones informs the two federal agents that he is no expert on the subject of the Ark myth, but they should, be looking into the friend of Indiana Jones, who later in the end when they go to retrieve the prize, Dr. Jones’ “friend” wants Jones to die. We never did meet, the mentor, however he was mention in the movie, Jones and the mentor had a misunderstanding many years ago prior to Jones asking him to be is partner for the adventure. He was trying to do his job, and also being a hero at the same time. It was hard for Indiana Jones, because he has to multitasks between doing his job, and being a hero. His first threshold was flying to Nepal, and Once the mission was complete, Jones and Marion returned home and Jones met with the agents, which in the end Jones was mad because the agents couldn’t tell him everything that he asked for, but Marion was trying to make him happy, and that she was going to buy him a drink. This is an example of the Campbell Theory, because Indiana Jones is playing two types of people, a superhero and a regular person. A superhero, like being a hero to Marion, and being a regular person, like being a professor at a college of

Jim Jones was “a self-proclaimed messiah in a polyester suit, a man who played God from behind mysterious dark glasses that gave his followers the impression that he was omniscient”( Axthelm 54).

He would hold his own services preaching to other children in his community. Jones preached about spiritual healing, wisdom, healing and brotherhood. When he first founded his church, it was named Wings of Deliverance, later known as the Peoples Temple. One of the ways he would attract followers was through his healings. He would perform healings showing his congregation he had the power to magically cure all illnesses, however, it turned out to be fake. For example, Jones healed people of cancer, where he would remove rancid-smelling objects that were supposedly cancerous tissue, when in fact, were rotten chicken liver. Not to mention, Jones influenced some of his subordinates to deceive the congregation to believe he had healing powers; "secretaries dressing up as old women, and the same woman coming out of wheelchairs on different nights" (McGehee III, Alternative Considerations of Jonestown & Peoples Temple). Jones implanted people in different locations of his assembly. When it was time for healings, these women would walk to the pulpit and he would magically heal them. By Jones using his subordinates to deceive the congregation, he was able to convince them that he had healing powers. The congregation believed he could heal all of them of their illnesses and diseases because of his healing powers. The people in the congregation would also spread the news to others, presenting them a Savior. This fantasy entices more people to join his congregation.

He sometimes has a very hard time saying no to the opportunity to find history’s brilliant artifacts. Indiana Jones’ journey is an example of the Campbell Theory in many different ways throughout the movie.
Brutus Jones doesn't Show ideology because the people do not follow his beliefs or total rule. A full tyrant would have ideology of his people and they would believe in his ideas like a god (http://bmb.oxfordjournals.org/content/72/1/1.full).obviously Emperor Jones doesn't have that with his people because his people dont respect him or fear him in the story.
